Hi David !
Thanks for such a speedy reply!

I have no problems locating the scripts or the enclosing folders, be it the default scripts or the folder nested in Preferences (user/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0/en_GB/Scripts/Scripts Panel).

It’s just that in order for the scripts to work in that office, they have to be installed in the Application folder themselves — and I have to contact the IT department as I don’t have Administrator privileges.

I was hoping that there is a workaround of some sort, to “unblock” what the administrator had set up (I don’t know what they did, maybe they block pop-up dialog windows from scripts? — I read somewhere about the suppressed dialog box suppressing the running of scripts).

Maybe I need a hack, oh gosh I don’t know. So that the scripts I install outside the Application folder (user/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0/en_GB/Scripts/Scripts Panel) could run successfully…
